The RAMI product contains the base road network and RAMI features, which reference back to the network. The base road network features are detailed in the Roads Technical Specification. The current specification focuses on RAMI.
RAMI has been categorised into the following themes:
Rights and Restrictions: Defines properties that restrict, regulate or prohibit the use of the network by traffic such as turn restrictions, or access and use restrictions which may affect the allowable route for users.
Advisory Information: These provide additional information that may affect a driver’s preferred choice of route or highlight potential hazards such as the presence of a toll, ford, or level crossing.
Asset Management: Provides additional information to support the management of Highways Assets by Highways and Roads Authorities such as detailed physical characteristics relating to the asset (reinstatement), road maintenance responsibility, and whether it has any special designations
RAMI is related back to features in the OS MasterMap Highways Network – Roads product using Network Referencing, through the networkRef attribute. All RAMI features extend the INSPIRE NetworkProperty class. This allows several types of Network Referencing to relate the RAMI to the relevant feature:
Network Reference: This is used to relate the information to a Street.
Node Reference: This is used to relate the information to a RoadNode.
Link Reference: This is used to relate the information to a complete RoadLink.
Multiple Link Reference: This is used to relate the information to more than one complete RoadLink.
Point Reference: This is used when the information is related to a specific point along a RoadLink.
Linear Reference: This is used to relate the information to a specific section of a RoadLink. This type of referencing is not used in the RAMI specification.
The different types of Network Referencing all extend the INSPIRE Network Reference data type.
In the INSPIRE specification, the networkRef is a voidable field. For all features in the RAMI specification, the networkRef will never be voided.
